    Hello everybody.
    I have had these dining table (+6 chairs) and sideboard for years. They used to belong to my parents.
    Looking at images of other antiques on the internet, as similar as possible, I think they are edwardian, but I'm not sure.
    No tag or label exist.
    Can anyone help identify? Are they real antiques, or a fake copy?
    Is the wood mahogany?
    tnx in advance :)

    Think circa 1920 is right so just or nearly antique. Not a historical reproduction but a traditional hodge-podge of styles. Mahogany is right. Doesn't look American.

    Thank you for your response.

    I searched for photos that resemble (more or less) my table and sideboard, like these:

    https://www.the-saleroom.com/en-gb/...0018/lot-583a5457-7573-44cc-813a-a68d00f49e81

    and they are edwardian.
    Similar curved edge, cabriole ball&claw legs, engraving style, etc...

    What other styles do you think are in the mix?

    You kind of have Queen Anne meets Chippendale, with a little Jacobean thrown in. Edwardian is not a style but a time period. When talking furniture, it is a decidedly British term, though Americans have adopted it some. It generally means early 20th century furniture produced prior to WWI. The furniture made during this time period was generally more restrained than that of the Victorian era and there was a move back to historical styles but often coordinated together to create new forms. Here in America, this started about the same time but really went crazy post-WWI.
